If McCain turns tail and runs away from the debate

[Grape Ape]

LOL... total reverse psychology here.

"we know he isn't afraid..." introduces the possibility to the viewers that perhaps he IS afraid.

It's like when Hilary was asked if Obama was Muslim.  "No.... as far as I know"

You're giving him too much credit.

I didn't watch any news last night, but skimmed a few posts - is the debate on or off at the moment?

[Decker]

There's no good way to spin this.

If I have this correct according to McCain, he will not debate this week b/c he has to concentrate on the economic problems facing the country.

1.  What if Obama pulled this shit?  Any McCain people think he should be cut some slack?

2.  McCain, you are just a CANDIDATE...you are not president.  There are no executive orders you have to decide on.

3.  Does any McCain supporter understand how weak this makes him look?  Or is showing weakness a sign of inner strength which liberals could not possibly understand?

240 was correct.  Bush the Lesser showed up for his debates...sure he was wired and gave feeble answers and was pummeled thoroughly by his opponent...but he showed up.

The debate organizers and Obama say they'll be there.

Mccain - who canceleld to go back to washington DC - still hasn't showed up to help with the bailout form.  They're almost done with it - the finance senators who have been working on it.  Mccain is still giving a speech for his campaign, at 9:30 AM this morning on CNN.

He's also a SENATOR, and it IS his job to be involved in this stuff.

Yes, it's a political move.  But you would think, by now, after seeing the original Palin bump, that empty moves DO actually have an effect.

But this move could seriously turn sour for Mccain.

As could any.

McCain has to make bold moves.  The current regime made him start this thing 4 steps behind.

The reality is, he wouldn't even be in the game if the Democrats weren't such political f-ups.

True Dat!

[Straw Man]

I predict McCain will show up

He'll do horribly and then blame it on Obama

just a guess

well the first part of my prediction appears to be correct.  I wonder how the rest of it will turn out:

yep you called it.

Not surprised especially after his BS stunt kind of back fired on him.

I think part 2 is also in the bag

Just wondering now how he'll blame his failure on Obama

If he wants to find a stupid baseless slanted way to blame Obama all he has to do is call Coach   

[Neurotoxin]

John and Cindy must both fling copious amounts of POO at poor Coach and Coach must allow the POO too harden and for the flies to trail him for a full 12 hours while Coach shouts "I love Obama," and "Obama is my Messiah" on the streets of mid-town Manhattan.
Surely that woud make you drop your support of McBush then, right? 

don't pick on Rush's Parrot !

Good idea Strawman, since Obama is too chickenshit to have a townhall debate with McCain, he might as well do it on his own.

What is with you dumb republicans and a town hall debate?  And Undeducated McCain spewing lies isnt gonna hold up agaisnt a Harvard Law Grad... Again, JUST becasue MCCAIN wants something doesnt mean he GETS IT.  They agreed to 3 debates a LONG TIME ago...
